Abu Dhabi, UAE – People in the UAE, KSA and Egypt planning their travel and holidays with Etihad Airways now have the option of paying via monthly Installments when booking flights directly through Etihad.com.
The Airline
is the first in the region to offer fully automated online Installment plans
after partnering with PayFort, the leading online payment service provider in
the Arab world. The initiative is designed to allow families and those on a
budget book flights to their dream destination with convenient, payment plans
tailored to their requirements.
Eligibility
for payment plans depends on the individual bank and plans range from three to
60 months, with 17 participating banks. Full details and the list of banks can
be found at etihad.com/installments
To
participate in a payment plan, travellers need only select the “Pay by
Installment” option, choose their bank they have a credit card with and choose
their payment period and terms when making an online payment at etihad.com
Etihad
Airways Vice President Digital Strategy and Innovation Justin Warby, said:
“Etihad is committed to continually enhancing the travel experience by
providing greater choice and flexibility to our guests. We understand travel
can be a significant expense, especially for families and those on a tight
budget, so this new initiative is a great way for people to book and enjoy
their travel without having to worry about paying in one large sum.”
As well as
being a convenient payment option for those who want to spread the cost of
travel over a period of months, Warby suggests Installment plans are a great
way for people who want to experience travelling in premium Business or First
Classes, or even in The Residence, to attain that dream.
“When we
were designing this product we were really looking at how we can assist those
low to medium income travellers and families, but of course, spreading the
payment over a period of months is also a great way to indulge in Etihad
Airways’ famous premium cabins.”
With Etihad
Airways launching a special Economy & Business Class offer this week, there
has never been a better time to prepare for a winter trip and take advantages
of the airline’s best prices to destinations such as London, Bangkok and New
York. Plus, all these offers can be paid for through our new Installments
payment plan.

details of the special offer can be found at etihad.com, guest must book by 22
